Interact with Monday.com boards and items

Actions29

Overview

The node interacts with Monday.com boards and their components via the Monday.com API. Specifically, for the Board resource and the Duplicate a Group operation, it duplicates an existing group within a specified board, optionally assigning a new name to the duplicated group.

This operation is useful when you want to quickly replicate a group structure (including its columns and settings) within the same board without manually recreating it. For example, if you have a project phase group that you want to reuse for a new phase, duplicating the group saves time and ensures consistency.

Properties

Name Meaning
Workspace Name or ID Select the workspace containing the board. You can choose from a list or specify an ID via expression. Required.
Board Name or ID Select the Monday board where the group exists. Choose from the list or specify an ID via expression. Required.
Group Name or ID Select the group within the board to duplicate. Choose from the list or specify an ID via expression. Required.
Group Name Enter the new name for the duplicated group.

Output

The output JSON contains the duplicated group's details as returned by the Monday.com API. It includes:

  • id: The unique identifier of the newly duplicated group.
  • title: The title/name of the duplicated group.

Example output JSON structure:

{
  "duplicate_group": {
    "id": "new_group_id",
    "title": "New Group Name"
  }
}

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for Monday.com with appropriate permissions to access and modify boards and groups.
  • The node makes HTTP POST requests to the Monday.com GraphQL API endpoint: https://api.monday.com/v2.
  • Proper configuration of the API key in n8n credentials is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing API Key: If the API key is not set or invalid, the node will throw an error "API Key not found". Ensure the API key credential is configured correctly.
  • Missing Board or Group ID: The node requires both the board ID and group ID to perform duplication. Errors like "Board ID and Group ID are required." indicate missing inputs. Verify these parameters are provided.
  • Invalid Group Name: If the new group name is empty or invalid, the API might reject the request. Provide a valid string for the new group name.
  • Permission Issues: Insufficient permissions on the API key may cause failures. Confirm the API key has rights to duplicate groups on the target board.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may hit rate limits imposed by Monday.com. Implement retries or delays if needed.
